I think they must be pushing back on the term “extortion” in the title, when it’s really “harassment“. I don’t think they implied that it’s fine, just that the title was not representative of the actual story.
Yes, the original bbc article this one is referring to is much less clickbaity:

This is a much better article.
It's extortion because he was refusing to take the video down unless she paid.
